PIEZO-AMINO ACIDS. “Piezoelectricity is a phenomenon which can exist only in noncentrosymmetric materials. The main building blocks of life are proteins, and the majority of protein crystals and noncentrosymmetric. Proteins are made of combinations of the 20 known amino acids, the majority of which also have noncentrosymmetric crystal structures…as a consequence, these amino acids poses piezoelectric properties.”
